Ruby Cup Pros

Although the Ruby Cup has only made its presence about 4 years ago, the Ruby Cup has made many females very happy with what it offers them in comparison to other menstrual cup designs and brands available. The Ruby Cup has received an extensive amount of great ratings and praise for being many reviewers’ perfect fit, ideal- “Goldilocks Cup.”

Grippy Dot Stem Best Feature – The grippy stem is the most talked about feature of the Ruby Cup. Consumers like it because it is trimmable and also provides enough friction with a grip to easily remove the cup.

Can be worn during activity, overnight with fool – proof leak protection- Consumers report that the Ruby Cup is great at providing protection, especially through activity and during the full night. They seem ultimately surprised that even in the first use, that there are no common leaks experienced as with many other menstrual cups brands.

Very good quality silicone, still squishy, ultimately comfortable – A few commenters stated that the quality of the silicone is superb. The cup appears to have a matte finish, is squish-soft, but firm enough to allow it to perform when inserted optimally.

Very easy to insert with punch -down fold (pops right open)- Females love the Ruby Cup because it is just about the best menstrual cup there is to insert. The cups can be inserted by using the punch-down fold method, and then it pops right open to form the leak-proof seal of protection.

Ruby Cup Cons

After much perusal all over the web, it was very difficult to find anything negative about this brand of menstrual cup. The usual “learning curve complaints” which are common with most cups were made along with the fact that the single size was not truly ideal for some females who chose to go with other routes.

Higher price tag then some cups – Some reviewers stated that they would rather use a menstrual cup that features a little less expensive price tag. However- considering the 10 year life-span of the Ruby Cup the investment is paid back in full within only 2 months of use.

Where to Buy The RubyCup Menstrual Cup

The Ruby Cup, menstrual cup has a wide-spread reach on an International scale of availability throughout retailers like Walmart and other popular drug store chains. Additionally, the Ruby Cup is also available with deep incentives and discounts through a variety of well-trusted online sources (check the list at the top of this page).

Of the several cups I have tried, Ruby is 1 of 2 of my favorites. For those having issues with air release holes… Fill cup with water, place hand over cup, turn cup in hand upside down so cup is above the hand, but hand is keeping water from coming out. Squeeze cup a couple times. This will clean out the holes in the cup. Repeat if needed. I have had no issues with this cup. Fits great and no leaks. So pretty to look at too. I have a high cervix and so far no issue retrieving it.

I purchased the small Ruby Cup in blue along with a few other brands to see which worked best for my anatomy. Following online cervix measuring methods, I have a medium length cervix during my cycle. This one was by far the most comfortable and easy to use. I have not experienced any leaks with this cup. The only down side are the tiny suction holes – they are difficult to clean between removal/insertion. I managed to get a little tool to punch through the holes to ensure all debris has been removed (without damaging the cup). Even with this issue, I love the Ruby Cup so much that the positives outweigh this one negative.

I didn’t have the chance to try the Ruby Cup, and don’t even want to bother trying. Read carefully. Their company is not realiable at all.They have terrible, the worst customer service ever. I was waiting for my order for more than a month, they don’t provide any tracking number. I complained by email, they assured that they haven’t sent the cup yet, no explanations, and once again they proceeded to sent the order without providing the tracking number (once again) without offering a reward or discount for waiting that long. I have to canceled and ask for a full refund. There are multiple other brands who are great in quality, provide fast and safe delivery, reliable company and better prices!

I love this product!!! It’s super comfortable you don’t even feel it and I have forgotten that I was on my period every time I’ve used it. I have saved money since switching. There are no chemicals and no odor. I traveled with it and it was amazing! I didn’t have to keep stopping every few hours to change a pad or tampon. I also love that when you buy one the company donates one to a girl in need.

I really liked the RubyCup but don’t consider it the best out there. I use cups, pads, and occasionally tampons and mainly use the RubyCup or Hesta Cup for heavier flowing days – 2nd/3rd and use disposable menstrual pads for the remainder of my cycle. I’ve been using Rael pads and liners for lighter flow days for the past few months and I love it. It’s super comfortable, soft, and chemical free. I can’t seem to find many brands that are organic and comfortable. I really prefer them over Organyc and Natracare but everyones flow is different so try it and if you don’t like it use both cups and pads.. works for me!

Love the Rubycup! I am so disappointed that I didn’t start using this years ago! No more stressing about pads, tampons or changing them throughout the day and you can sleep with it in all night. No leaking or overflow. The cup is so easy to put in and take out. It makes having your period a non-issue! So much better for the environment and also cheap. I love that Rubycup donates one to a girl in Kenya for each cup you buy. They really are life-changing!
